Symlink

From MEPIS Documentation Wiki

symbolic link (often shortened to symlink) consists of a special type of file that serves as a reference to another file.

Unlike a hard link, a symbolic link does not point directly to data, but merely contains a symbolic path which an operating system uses to identify a hard link (or another symbolic link). Thus, when a user removes a symbolic link, the file to which it pointed remains unaffected. (In contrast, the removal of a hard link will result in the removal of the file if that file has no other hard links.) Systems can use symbolic links to refer to files even on other mounted file systems. A symbolic link whose target does not exist is referred to as an orphan.

You can use either the command line or Dolphin file manager to create a symlink. (Or Konqueror for old versions of MEPIS)
